Veteran Spanish actor Javier Cámara who played Guillermo Pallomari, the chief accountant of Colombia’s Cali Cartel in the third season “Narcos” took the starring role in “El Olvido Que Seremos” (English title: “Memories of My Father”) in part because of the Netflix series.
Cámara had the opportunity to know Colombia because “Narcos” was a huge success around the world, and he told TheWrap’s Sharon Waxman, “All this prejudice that we have about Colombia, about these countries, that have this amazing progress, and we have the same progress in our countries too but, we have only seen one side of the country.”

(JTA) For a movie about the Holocaust, the Belarussian film “Persian Lessons” has some comic potential. Set in a concentration camp somewhere in Western Europe, it involves a Jewish inmate who survives by giving Farsi lessons to a Nazi officer who dreams about opening a restaurant in Tehran.
One problem: The inmate doesn’t speak Farsi. Instead he comes up with his own language and teaches it to his captor, trying not to raise suspicions.
